Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the text boxes on acne.org tend to flag many recognized English words as misspelled ones. Would you guys double check the software, maybe it needs updated to a new version? I would assume that it would have a similar spell check engine as Microsoft Office Applications, but sometimes a word is flagged in here that isn't in Microsoft Word.

I cannot possibly remember every word this has happened it, but the latest one is the word "hormonally". It is flagged as misspelled in acne.org, but if you copy and paste it into Microsoft Word then Word recognizes it as correct.

It just causes typing long explanation to be somewhat tedious when a word you think is spelled correctly is flagged. If you could look into maybe just updating the software that'd be great. Thanks.

Here's A Few Acne.org Threads Of Mine You May Find Useful/Interesting (updated 7/25/13)

This isn't my field of expertise on this site, but I'm sure one of the admins will have a look at the issue. All I wanted to say is be thankful that you're American, because almost every second word that I type is recognised as incorrect spelling but only because its English UK spelling not English US spelling. An example of which is recognise vs recognize.

After remaining clear for around 1.5 years following DKR (The Regimen), in March 2013 I decided to change to Epiduo. I use a pea size amount of epiduo each night, followed by a layer of topical antibiotic (Eryacne). I also apply Eryacne every morning and moisturise twice a day. After switching to Epiduo from the regimen I found that it took a good 3 months to get back to being perfectly clear again and now I might get one small pimple appear per month. I can live with that

I started following Dan's Regimen in September 2011 after suffering with acne for 20 years or so. I followed the Regimen instructions exactly and became 100% clear within 9-11 weeks. In December 2011 and after being consistently clear for over a month, I started to slowly reduce the amount of BP I used until I was only applying BP at night. My skin still remained clear however I sometimes switched to applying BP twice a day for a few days (perhaps once a month) if I felt a few under skin bumps starting to come up. I used acne.org products (including AHA and jojoba oil) and sometimes cetaphil moisturiser at night if I felt my skin was especially dry. In the gallery I show my week by week progress following the regimen.

Wait so the spelling of certain English words is different whether you're from the US or the UK? Whoa, I had no idea LOL; I thought English was the same everywhere in the world, and that the different spellings of certain words (like recognize) were more from just historical changes of the language. Are there many cases like this for you, or is it only for a handful of words?

I can read spanish well, still not quite fluent speaking it yet though, and I have seen cases like this where Spanish words differ slightly whether you are talking Central/South American Spanish or Spain/Euro Spanish. But I didn't know English was like that too.

That's interesting

There are heaps of words spelt differently between US and non US English speaking countries. Even that sentence has an example. We say "spelt" (as in heaps of words spelt differently) and you would have said "spelled". (if im not mistaken). Mostly on this site its words such as Moisturiser vs moisturizer etc.

So let me get this right, all this time you saw posts from non US members and you were thinking "man, these people can't spell to save themselves". Right? Right?

I wouldn't call that ignorance though, it's not something an American thinks about too much. We think English is English, and those of us that don't have the oppurtunity to speak to UK citizens will never know that it isn't. I bet if I polled my friends at college only about 5% of them would know that the actual spelling and form is different.

Hey, I consider myself cultured, having spoken face to face with people from many different countries. And one thing I've seen is that we'll never know the finer points of a language until we actually use it ourselves, especially grammtical structure (ever look at Mandarin? it's sooo complex) and so I think I deserve a free pass on this one

Right? And then I have the handicap of English not being my native language... Every single word is marked as a typo... Or maybe that's my spell-checker's way of saying to just shut up and don't type anything at all. Must be it...

@CBIOT13: Spell checking is a browser setting, to my knowledge it has nothing to do with the board software. If you're using Chrome (I'm assuming it's similar for other browsers), right-clicking a misspelled word will bring you to the spell-checker options.

Ahhh, no red underlines...how wonderful!

There's a 'u' in our 'colour' as well There's a gay bar round the corner to me that I always refuse to go to because it has the americanised spelling of 'colours' as it's name

I bet they ordered that sign in the US. Or maybe they're just cheapo's

The Aussie version has a special section for sarcasm. You can officialy be sarcastic now, without your spell-checker calling you out on it all the time. Oh and it also has a kangaroo section, if I'm not mistaken.

There is no spellcheck software on acne.org. The flags are coming from your PC. It maybe that you've got a setting American English rather than UK English or International English as it's often referred to.

Check your language and keyboard settings, I'm a mac user, so not sure exactly where they will be.
